Let the hype be created where market share is higher...those satisfied users will lead to a better perception of Blackberry as it prepares to launch in US, it's not like the phone was delayed and no one is getting it until March

interesting, yet stupid. why would they not want the brand new RIM technology, latest and the greatest. They have a huge blackberry base, you think they are going to ignore all those people and not bring in the new HOT item. :p

For the last 3 months or so the ATT stores I have been to in the malls have been telling me that they are not getting any new BB's. Now how true that is I am not sure but they have all told me the same thing. I hope that this is totally wrong.

Did some one wake up this past weekend and say "Oh, by the way we have not gotten any american carriers tested!" Where has the people that are suppose to be working with the carriers been and what have they been doing? Some heads should roll for allowing this blunder. As a stockholder why are you spending money for a Super Bowl ad that will long be forgotten before a single phone is available to be sold in the US. I called RIM's NA number from their website and was told there is no plans to sell direct and that the phone will not be available until some time in March and that they had no date. The stock had so far dropped from a high today of $16.62 to a current price of $14.15. We are heading back toward $6 because of this failure to have at least one US carrier ready and able to sell the phone. Also as an AT&T customer I am extremely disappointment that Verizon will be the only one selling a white model.

Verizon will definitely be carrying both white and black Z10 which is shown on there site but only when typed into search. I spoke with a Verizon rep today and was told they received notice of the Z10 today priced at 199.00 with two year contract. Due to be offered in March. No info. on Q10 sorry; I will be getting a Z10 white.

I too am disappointed to have to wait two more months especially since I've been waiting for awhile already, still using a Storm 2, it works but I desperately need/want a new phone!

There is no conspiracy here folks. EVERY PHONE has a staggered launch first, even Apple. We are just used to the US being the first country instead of the last. Companies launch their products first in their strongest markets. The US is not one of BlackBerry's strongest markets. Nokia did the same thing with its Lumia line. They launched their European phones 5 months prior to their US phones. The carriers can't change their mind on that.

WTF (Why the. . . .) have this big, hyped-up, send-off in NYC, the last place on earth the phone will actually be available? If you respond, well, the US and NYC is still the epicenter of global commerce and certainly global tech media, it would make sense as an event location, but that would also lead a sentient company to prioritize the US market beyond what your particular market share is right now. A lot of the people in that audience and a lot of the experts are located in the US and what they heard and saw was nice and flashy . . . . and bracketed by the usual RIM (I won't call it Blackberry until they release something here in the US) hemming and hawing about "soon" and "carrier testing". Your target audience, the tech press, needed to be fed their toys plus something that could immediately feed their audience, which is the buying public. Don't worry, the kettle is on the boil and your snack will be ready within 3 or 4 lunar cycles. Stay hungry, my friends! Why blame the carriers, when we all come here to talk about RIM? Is there something I'm missing here, about US carriers? Sure, they are a pita to deal with. Still, a carrier is a handy thing to have if you live in the US and have a phone. Other manufacturers seem to be able to get their products launched.

I am so disappointed that it does not get to the US until march, and the white version won't get to att. So I have resolved to get a white one from Canada. Does anyone know what Canadian carrier works best with att.

I hope that blackberry does well. That fact is what I think most of us are pissed about. We want blackberry to do well and this is not going to facilitate that. We all want the phone but we have been looking forward to Rim showing everyone in the US how impressive blackberry is and it is not going to happen. I switch platforms today and love the new phone. RIM does not owe me and I do not owe them. It sucks because I really wanted to be right about blackberry. I do own stock, so here is hoping. Good bye for now BB and CB. Good times.

First time it was rim decision cause the phone wasnt ready so all this exciment for nothing. Now usa carriers are planning to make us to wait for another run down for 30 something days are you kidding me.....this bent out of shape everybody seriously!!!! And how the biggest company in the usa need to way that long to satisfy the customers when a product is ready to go.....so small companies are ready to sell the devices....COME'ON SPRINT!!!

After 12+ years as a BB only user I am seriously thinking about moving on. Current Torch 9800 is on its last legs and I have been keeping it alive since about August. If it dies I guess I am going to be forced to go Android.

Honestly don't care a bit about color or anything else other than the keyboard. I live on email and SMS and travel outside US frequently. BB has never let me down and always kept me connected.
